I've checked the example of a long Marriage Certificate on my Canon GX5060 by scanning from the AFD onto a local USB stick. It scans the whole certificate perfectly into a pdf on the stick. Thus, I conclude that it should be possible to connect via network via  a sane module version that supports

Hi,Was the handheld scanner an HP device by any chance? If so, I have some folklore about it.My former professor at KTH, Mark Smith, has shown us a now rare exemplary once, from his days at Hewlett-Packard. It has the capability of scanning a page with remarkable precision by rubbing the device

As someone who made a hobby of scanning player piano rolls, I can tell you that the generalized solution to imaging paper of arbitrary length involves either the expenditure of much money, or else much effort. My journey ended with a flatbed scanner (using SANE), a paper advance mechanism, and

My Canon GX5060 seems to have no problem feeding, for example, the long, thin  British Birth, Marriage, Death certificates completely through the AFD (Feeder. The flatbed is A4 compatible)), but either the associated on-board software or the scanner drivers cannot scale the result onto a complete
